tfw you are actually reading Brief History of Chosŏn Rodongdang, but it plainly reads like quotations of Dear Leader Kim Il-Sung

is china safe, for people with disabilities?
i'm in a wheelchair, would love to visit, but know little of the country.

Post hakka people stereotypes Pic unrelated
Luke Peterson
hello, i'm sorry to hear that you're in wheelchair. In terms of personal safety, there's no problem for the disabled to travel here but a lot of buildings and infrastructures here definitely lack facilities for the disabled. There are restrooms for the disabled but not enough gentle slopes and automatic doors
Colton Allen
>In terms of personal safety, there's no problem this is what interests me, thanks!
>but a lot of buildings and infrastructures here definitely lack facilities for the disabled eh, this comes second honestly. My country is shit when it comes to this so i got used to it.
Thanks!

Literally chinese jews
Adam Perry
What are jew things they do?
Dominic Adams
This stereotype actually applies to many other coastline chinese like Hokkien and Cantonese. In the eyes of SE Asians, they do all the business things and become rich, which is one of the reasons. Also many prominent political leaders are of fully or partly Hakka descent in spite of their small population compared to all chinese (a lot of political leaders instead of intellectuals unlike jews tho)

>Guo Wengui has, as we noted on Monday, been furiously giving interviews and posting to Twitter about high-level corruption, which he says extends to the top levels of the Politburo.
>In the Sinocism newsletter, respected China-watcher Bill Bishop says that “Guo had promised even more explosive charges in an interview scheduled for three hours this morning with VOA. Beijing, clearly worried about Guo’s accusations, requested Interpol issue a ‘red notice’ for him.”
>Guo did not get to broadcast his allegations in VOA: The state-owned American radio station terminated the interview without explanation.
>VOA has not said why but Guo claimed on Twitter that the State Department pressured VOA to end the interview.
Thoughts from /sino/?
Aaron Long
another thing to add is that the geographical position and economic status of Hakka's homeland is pretty poor compared to other groups of chinese, so they have to emigrate to SE asia or even Western countries to make livings. Also there were anti-hakka sentiments among cantonese and hokkien in late 19th century because of land disputes which is a bit like how jews once got driven out of Israel
Henry Powell
no idea whether Guo actually knows, but there probably really exists high-level corruption related to top levels of the Politburo. As far as I was concerned, three members of Poliburo Standing Committee, Zhang Dejiang, Zhang Gaoli and Liu Yunshan are from Jiang Zemin's political bloc and there is a widespread myth that nepotism and collusion between officials and merchants are pretty common among Jiang's bloc, so the three persons might not be exceptions
Angel Lewis
I suppose that for me, the idea that some Politburo members are corrupt isn't as surprising as the fact that a billionaire like Guo is willing to speak publicly about these issues
Benjamin Morales
Dude. Im ethnically Han chinese but grew up here and i can speak chinese adequetly enough but i regret not learning how to read chinese. If i go back is it enough to just speak mandarin?
Tyler Sanders
Just learn to read senpai, already knowing how to speak mandarin is easy mode
Ian Young
Yea i know, im about to start but will other chinese people look down on me because i can only speak but not read and write.
Mason Price
If Chinese move to another country with another language how do their children learn how to wrote Chinese?
Adam Myers
I'm foreign born Chinese and I can read (and type) to some extent, just not write. But I did give writing a shot and it feels like you can just pick it up with practice. Characters are sort of like lego with the different components.
Christian Reyes
its best to learn simplified Chinese, it's a lot easier to write.
traditional is too hard
Michael Hughes
Chinese vernacular schools. Here they are even state funded.
Cameron Martin
>will other chinese people look down on me no one will do that. on the contrary oversea Chinese are well-respected here and it's even better if you can speak mandarin
>Here they are even state funded I heard that Malay government somewhat used to oppress these schools now there are some improvement?
Parker Rogers
>well respected Now it's kind of wrong to say that i guess But it's true that usually people won't treat them bad, but will treat them like laowai if chinese sounds like laowai.

In that case, he can just pretend to have some accent and whenever he shows his fluent English others will treat him like god kek

>I heard that Malay government somewhat used to oppress these schools now there are some improvement? Politically the vernacular schools have always been an easy rhetorical target for the Malays claiming they are creating racial disunity from a young age. And the state funding is only for Chinese primary schools, the Chinese high schools are all independent.
But the truth is that more and more redpilled Malays are trying to get their kids into the Chinese schools, because they produce better results than the Malay national schools and because they can get that 华文 advantage as China looks more and more like they will be our future economic overlords.
Incidentally the Unified Examination Certificate that is awarded by the Chinese independent high schools here is recognized by Singapore, Australia, Taiwan, and China, but not by our own government.

Reminds me of one time I gave directions to a Chinese guy in an airport in Australia, and he asked me if I was from Guangzhou.
Leo Smith
Thanks for the explanation
Kevin Fisher
Do you use wechat or whatsapp btw?
Connor Gray
In Malaysia vast majority use WhatsApp. I think only a very small handful use WeChat or LINE.

more information on Guo: >China’s government pressed Voice of America to cancel the interview, an official with the broadcaster said. The Foreign Ministry summoned its Beijing-based correspondent, Bill Ide, on Monday, where he was told that the interview would be viewed by China as interference in its internal affairs and told that it might affect the renewal of journalists’ visas, according to two people at Voice of America with knowledge of the meeting.
>What about Guo’s relatives, employees and assets back in China? Has he lost hope they will be released and so now wants to burn everything down, or is he playing high-stakes blackmail, giving Beijing a taste of what he can do while privately offering to hold back if he gets what he wants? This morning he threatened more "exposes", writing on Twitter that he is not intimidated by Beijing and is considering releasing videos and other details about Standing Committee members and their family members
>We need to remember that yesterday’s allegations by Guo are so far unsubstantiated. The relevant organs in Beijing though are clearly concerned as Xi does not want any scandals between now and the 19th Party Congress that could threaten his plans. The US is much safer for Guo Wengui than Hong Kong was for Xiao Jianhua, but he is taking no chances and has several beefy bodyguards on his payroll.
